Land of the Fae Pocket Letter

Had fun using several larger images in this one, and lots of bling. Basically let the photos do all the work.

Flamingo Pocket Letter

I decided to try using a large image for this one and I really like how it turned out.  I also used some vintage  images from ads,and a colorful graphic I found, patterned papers, washi tape and some bling to top things off.

1920"s Flapper Pocket Letter

So I looked for images of 1920's flappers and fashions and found photos and ads and fashion sketches to use. I used washi tape, die cuts and a lot of bling.   I decided to throw in some 1920's slang and hand lettered a different phase or word on each  with the definitions on the back.  Pocket 1-"Cat's Meow" means something splendid or stylish, the greatest, wonderful.  Pocket 2 - "Now you're on the trolley!" means "Now you've got, now you're right." Pocket 3 - "Hotsy Totsy" means pleasing.  Pocket 4 - "Copacetic" means wonderful, fine, all right.  Pocket 5 - "Glad rags" means "going out on the town" clothes.  Pocket 6 - "Keen" means attractive or appealing.  Pocket 7 - "Cash or check" means "Do you kiss now or later".  Pocket 8 - "Bee's knees" means an extraordinary person, thing, idea; the ultimate.  Pocket 9 - "Flapper" means stylish, brash, hedonistic woman with short skirts and shorter hair.
